Woman found dead in man's apartment identified

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A man charged with murder after allegedly asking for help to
move a victim's body pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on Tuesday.

According to court documents, Joseph Duncan, 54, was charged with murder in the
death of Debra Ann Clark, 53, who was found in the 1700 block of Dixdale Avenue
at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

Witnesses told police Duncan asked for help to move Clark who had visible
injuries and blood on her body. Duncan admitted he moved her in a friend's car
to his apartment, almost four miles away.

Police reported Duncan did not seek
medical treatment for Clark and was the last person to see her alive before
someone found her body in his bed. When police questioned Duncan, he had Clark's
cell phone on his person. Around 10 p.m. Sunday, her death was ruled a homicide
by the medical examiner.

Duncan was assigned a public defender during his arraignment and is being
held in Louisville Metro Department of Corrections on a $1 million full cash
bond. He is scheduled to appear back in court on August 16.

According to Deputy Coroner Ann Rhodes, funeral arrangements for Clark are
pending.
